Some of these videos include Intergalactic by Beastie Boys and Stronger by Kanye West.Takashi Murakami is a well known Japanese artist who invented a style called “Super Flat” which is characterized by flat planes of color and graphic images involving a character style derived from anime and manga (Stout, Takashi Murakami: Superflat and super awkward).Anime has made it possible for people to get interested and more open to Japanese culture. Anime influences many artists in the U.S and now many younger Americans have adapted the drawing style and have made “kawaii” clothing designs and accesories that have become popular in younger adult stores.. Anime’s fan base is so large that conventions have been made to host all of the fans, or “otaku”. At the convention many people cosplay..Cosplaying is short for costume play There are 7 anime conventions within our tri-state area alone.As more people gain a love for anime, more of the series are dubbed and shown in America. Anime’s fan base is growing and the animation style can be seen any day on television with programs such as Adult Swim. In conclusion, now you can see how anime, although its brief history, has influenced our vivid art, entertainment and culture.
